  1. With Netflix requiring all its original movies and shows to be filmed in UHD some of the Middle East vista should be worth a look, so I shall watch the production with interest.
    I would suggest not using any English dubbing for Netflix’s non English speaking productions, it reminds me of 60’s and 70’s Italian westerns.
